As you begin your journey of learning who you are and why you are here during such a transformational time in history, you are likely to stumble upon the teaching of the chakra system.
The root chakra (Muladhara) is the first chakra and lowest point of the subtle body.
As the base energy, it provides a sense of innate rooting from within when you activate it.
Once you begin this process of activation, you are likely to feel several common symptoms.
What are the symptoms of an opening root chakra? People experience things like releasing anxieties and limiting beliefs, eating healthier, and feeling at home within themselves for the first time. The root chakra holds a lot of trauma and karmic debt, so the manifestation of symptoms one feels when they activate it feels like one giant purge.
The root chakra is the base of your subtle body but manifests on the physical plane in a very real way.
Aside from the common symptoms of opening the root chakra, below, you will learn more about how to aid in this activation process.
The Root Chakra: What Is It And What Does It Mean To Open It?
If you want more information about what the root chakra is, then you probably have just started your journey learning about the chakra system.
I say this for the mere fact that the root chakra is the first in the chakra system and tends to be the starting point for many people in their journey.
The chakra system acts similarly to any other physical body system, but the chakra system resides in the subtle body.
The ancient Hindu tradition speaks of hundreds of chakra centers, but Western cultures and modern Hindu culture recognize the seven chakra perspectives.
The seven chakras aren’t as specific as the ancient chakras and are seen more like categories.
Each chakra represents a select few things.
The root chakra represents:
- Stability
- Security
- The basic human need for interconnection
- Survival instincts
It is highly recommended that everyone begin their journey at the base or root chakra.
As the chakra system moves higher in the body, the energy centers focus less on physical matter and are more closely connected to Divine Source Energy.
If you aren’t rooted strongly in your foundation, it can cause problems later on, including things like:
- Inability to connect with others and anti-social behavior
- Escapism
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Narcissism
- Aggression
- Indecisiveness
- ADHD
As you can see, most of these symptoms are mental illnesses.
This is because most of our connection with Divine Source Energy is through the mind.
It is so important to take the best care you can of your mind, and you can do this via mental health exercises like affirmations, gratitude journaling, working out, and so much more.
What houses the mind, though? The brain.
What houses the brain? The body.
The body is the charging station for the brain and, subsequently, the mind.
One must first take care of the body to ensure a strong, healthy mind.
So What Does It Mean To ‘Open It’?
Now that you’ve made it this far, it’s clear to see that the root chakra is your energetic foundation.
So, when you open it, visualize yourself laying that strong foundation.
It is the chakra you will always come to first if another chakra is off balance. The root will provide the stability you need to balance the other chakra in question.
Opening your root chakra means you will experience many different symptoms.
Seven of the most common symptoms are listed below, but one thing not a lot of people talk about is how it can quite literally change your entire life.
The longer you suppress who you really are, the bigger the waves of change will be when the activation begins.
Let me make something perfectly clear.
This is nothing to be scared of. Perhaps the scariest part of what you just read is the fact that you’ve suppressed yourself [from yourself] for so long.
You will feel at home in your own skin, likely for the first time in your life.
You will feel a deep inner, rooted connection with the Earth, planets, other people, and the universe.
Not to mention the sense of stability and security that you are enough in this world.
Regardless of who you are or your background, everyone deserves to know what it feels like to be One with themselves.
Needless to say, your life is waiting for you on the other side of activating your root chakra.
